Ack : would people really do this ? We're using "a1" ... "a<lots>"
in our implementation, which makes it quite easy to see at a glance
how many trans-units there are in the file, something that would
require a bit more work if you were to go for a pseudo random naming
scheme (plus the app generating those numbers to convert po to xliff
would have to make sure that each new number doesn't clash with
existing ones)
